On November 12th, the Long Beach Harbor Commission approved a significant agreement with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, committing the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to developing zero-emissions infrastructure. The Port of Los Angeles commissioners are expected to vote on this agreement next week. Environmental groups criticize it as a closed-door deal, while supporters view it as a balanced approach. The agreement includes a phased approach for zero-emissions equipment, with annual reports and penalties for non-compliance. This marks a major step forward in reducing pollution from one of the nations busiest port complexes.
